I either make or order glass from a glass shop for end out tanks.  I just depends on how many tanks I need covers for at a given time.
 
I do not use styrofoam under any of my tanks-incluiding 2 125's and a 210.  It's not a bad idea though.
 
An inside wall SHOULD be more temperature stable then an outside wall.  But you know your basement and how the temps are in it better then I do!

Thanks Jeff.
 
Here are some more questions:
If the tanks are end-out will I have to make my own glass tops, or are there other options?
Is it necessary to put any foam board under the aquariums, especially something bigger like a 40 breeder?
For heating reasons would it be better to put the rack against an interior wall?

Most of the Fp. gardneri gardneri varieties are excellent beginner killies.

Just looking now any ideas help.
I just worry about the 84 degree water. I am afraid it will be rough on the African cichlids I put in the tank.

Don't use the magdrive as an in-line (external) pump.  They have a pretty weak seal between the impellar cover and the body so they are prone to leaking.
 
Which Quiet One pump model are you looking at?
 
For my money-brand aside for the time-I'd get a true external pump and not a "hybrid" submersible or external model as a true external pump should last longer and cause fewer leaking issues.

OK I am going to change the water pump on my 135 gallon tank. I just can't get the water below 83 degrees with the Aqueon submersible.
 I am looking for an external pump.
Any ideas?
I saw two brands that might work  a Quiet One  and  Mag Drive at THATFISHPLACE.COM
